“Birch is the best deal on the table - period. They have stayed true to their word on price and service, and always operated honestly. Every time I call Birch, I speak with an actual person and not the automated system companies tends to use. I appreciate being able to speak to a person that treats me fairly and with respect.“

One would be hard-pressed to identify a company - or consumer - that has not begun to use cloud computing for at least a single function, as the number of entities to not yet adopt the technology dwindles rapidly around the globe.

IT infrastructure has been somewhat of a quiet behemoth in the past few years, with organizations in virtually every private and public sector around the globe completely overhauling their backend systems.

It is somewhat baffling to think that only 15 years ago, 99 percent of all work and business processes had to take place in a brick-and-mortar location, and that the first modern smartphone did not really come out until only eight years ago.

In the past decade, virtually no technology has had a greater impact on IT than cloud services, which have remained as some of the more common investments among businesses of all sizes, government agencies and consumers.

Small-business owners have been granted a wealth of opportunities through more advanced digital technologies in the past several years, most importantly those falling into the category of cloud services, but many are still relying on antiquated systems.

Cloud computing has no doubt made waves throughout the past several years, helping businesses of all sizes adapt to modern market and industry conditions, appeal to today's consumer and corporate purchaser communities and more.
